✨Behind the scenes with the Chimney Swifts!✨ This group of swifts, from three different nests, arrived as hatchlings during the same week. While they're nearly fully grown, they're still figuring out the intricacies of flight. They're cute, quite noisy, and will soon be exploring their temporary enclosure with their fluttering antics. Say hello to the Chimney Swift – Alabama's masters of the sky! These birds are almost always in flight, and can even catch some zzz's while airborne. Very jealous

These small, “cigar-shaped” birds almost exclusively nest inside chimneys across the eastern U.S. Chimney swifts substitute chimneys for the old-growth trees they once relied upon. Each year, they migrate thousands of miles between North and South America, a remarkable journey for such small birds.

🐦 Since 1970, chimney swift populations have declined by 90%. Once nesting in hollow trees, chimney swifts adapted to city life — raising their young in chimneys after forests were cleared. But as old chimneys disappear and insect populations decline, these agile flyers are losing both homes and food. Their story shows how even resilient species can struggle when habitats — and the species they depend on — vanish. Learn more in our #LPRC2025: wwf.ca/lprc2025 | WWF-Canada

These hungry ones are baby chimney swifts. An endangered species in Nova Scotia, chimney swifts nest in caves, tree cavities and man made structures (especially chimneys). Their nests are loosely wove twigs that are held together and adhered to a vertical wall inside chimneys or other structures using the parents’ glue like saliva. #hopeforwildlife #wildliferescue #wildliferehab #HFW #chimneyswifts | Hope For Wildlife

Chimney swifts are found across the eastern half of the U.S., including Florida. This small bird can be identified by its dark stubby body, blunt tail, and curving wings. A nimble flyer, chimney swifts maneuver overhead feeding on insects that are captured during flight. When landing, they are unable to perch and instead use their long claws to cling to vertical walls inside chimneys, hollow trees, or caves. The chimney swift uses glue-like saliva to cement its nest to the chimney wall or rock f
